EDINBURGH HALF DAY CITY TOUR: £190.00 INCL
Edinburgh, sometimes referred to as the “Athens of the North”, is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. It has two distinct areas: The Old Town, dominated by a medieval fortress, and the neo-classical New Town, dating from the 18th century. The harmonious connection of these two contrasting historic areas, each with many important buildings, is what gives the city its unique character and what saw it be awarded World Heritage Site status by UNESCO in 1995.
Your tour can be completely customised to your preferences, but here is a suggested route to discover the medieval history of the city as well as, its modern and vibrant infrastructure.

TOUR HIGHLIGHTS
A
Edinburgh Castle
Edinburgh Castle, a majestic landmark which dominates the capital city’s skyline, is visited annually by approximately one million people. Every visitor – particularly those on a restricted itinerary – should visit the castle, not only because of the historical interest of this remarkable fortress and former royal residence, but because it offers such splendid panoramic views of the city.
This dominate structure, allows visitors to immediately appreciate the dramatic topography of the city of Edinburgh, situated between sea and hills. The must-see attraction when visiting Scotland.
B
The New Town
To the north, between the castle and the Firth of the Forth, you get your first glimpse of Edinburgh’s new town – still holding its name, even though it was created in the eighteenth century. The largest area of Georgian architecture in Europe, the New Town, is brimming with gracious squares and tree-lined crescents.
The New Town, one of Britain’s architectural gems, remains the living heart of city, a must-see stop whilst touring Edinburgh.
